Wallis’ mother Catherine Coslett, 64, from Valley View Road, Cwmtillery, was found guilty of two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice while co-defendant Shaquille Crosdale, 18, was found guilty of the same offence.

Sir John Griffith Williams KT told the jury he would now accept majority verdicts in respect of Crosdale and Callum Banton, 18, both of Fleetwood Close, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, who all deny the charge of murder.

The judge released Coslett on conditional bail and Wallis was remanded in custody, until their sentencing date, which will be fixed after the conclusion of the trial.
